Does Your Water Bottle Really Need to be 'Smart?'

Konana says the reason gamification is a buzzword is because it’s effective. Take Fitbit.

“I walk around, but I never paid attention. But sometimes you keep working and suddenly it beeps you, you've been sitting for so long — get up,” he says. “Believe it or not my reaction is: I wake up, I get up.”
